�_.,
Council President Bill Wilson
and Honorable Members of the City Council
7th Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, MN 55102
Dear Council President Wilson and Members of the City Council:
I have vetoed the December 12, 1991 Council resolution, (Council File Number 91-
2247), setting the 1992 sewer service rates. I share the concern of the City Council
that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum.
However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds.
There are four reasons for my veto:
(1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep
the fund solvent we would be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993
rates.
1� (2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the Metropolitan Waste
� Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint
Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the
authority to charge an interest penalty.
(3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive
fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent.
As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will
leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low.
(4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs
ceased. However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our
commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of
this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and
environmental costs in the near future.
In response to the Counc�l's recent act�on and as a comprom�se, I am
recommend�ng a 9.5 percent increase �n the 1992 serv�ce rates. Th�s
rate recommendat�on w�ll requ�re over $530,000 of add�t�onal cuts �n
the Sewer Seru�ce Fund.
�8 5
. - �- y/-a�°7�/7'�
it will be very difficult to make these cuts because as a result of the 1992 budget
process, the Sewer Service Fund has already cut $272,000. The additional $530,000
being cut will cause the total elimination of some mandated programs including the
federally mandated Stormwater Discharge Permit activity and City participation in the
state mandated Watershed Management Organizations. It will also reduce the amount
spent on major sewer repair and the federally mandated Inflow and Infiltration
Reduction Program. Part I of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit application for our stormwater discharges is due on May 18, 1992.
Under the proposed cut, work on this program will stop and the City will fail to meet its
responsibilities under this new, unfunded federal regulation. In addition, the state
required funding for the several Watershed Management Organizations in the City will
be eliminated. The deferment of maintenance resulting in the cuts in major sewer
repair may meet an immediate financial need; however, the deterioration of our
infrastructure will have a much higher future cost. The proposed reduction in spending
in the Inflow and Infiltration Program will likely result in the City's failure to meet its
obligations under the current NPDES permit for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
Elimination Program. Noncompliance will expose the City of Saint Paul to financial
and other liability. All of the above cuts are one time and will have to be reviewed as
part of 1993 budget process.
In the proposed 1992 sewer budget, there are no increases in spending for wages or
in any other budget items.
As mayor I will initiate the following actions:
(1.) I have attached a reolution to implement my recommendation for a 9 1/2
percent increase in the 1992 sewer service rates.
(2.) I will arrange for the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
representatives to meet with my staff and members of the Council to
discuss all City concerns about MWCC charges. Until appropriate sewer
rates are set, I have requested the Saint Paul Water Utility to withhold their
billings for January.
(3.) With all the federal and state mandated programs and the corresponding
increases in regional and city sewer service charges, it appears imperative
that an oversight into these programs is necessary. I intend to explore the
possibility of submitting these mandated programs and annual regional
sewer service charges to the State Public Utilities Commission or another
appropriate agency for their review.
(4.) The Department of Public Works will conduct an extensive study of the
revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a part of the
study, Public Works will:
• contact municipal agencies within Minnesota and similar size cities in
• ♦' cl `//' X c.! / `�"
. • _
( L
other states. We will identify the trends in sewer service rates in other
communities that have resulted from mandated environmental
programs and will detemine if these cities are experiencing decreased
water use by both commercial and residential customers.
• review all large commercial and industrial water and sewer use.
• review MWCC costs to the City and the allocation method.
• Identify the current and future ability of the Department of Public Works
to provide quality sewer service to our customers.
• also investigate any new state or federal requirements and their cost
impact.
• examine ways of consolidating Public Works sewer services with the
Saint Paul Water Utility for gains in overall cost effectiveness.
• develop a plan to stabilize the sewer rates over a 10-year period.
We will detail these issues in a mid-year report to the City Council.
If appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of submitting an
amended budget and as permitted by the Legislative code, adjust sewer rates
mid-year.
As elected City officials, we have all taken strong stands on environmental issues.
Cleaning up our environment plays a critical part in retaining a high quality of life for
Saint Paul citizens. We must maintain support for environment actions with a balanced
budget. Therefore, I feel that my veto is the only fiscally responsible action available to
me. I know you also share this view and I trust you will support it.
Sincerely,
,

AMENDMENT TO BOTH C.F. 91-2240
C.F. 91-2247
and be it
FINALLY RESOLVED: that the Council hereby makes the following
findings:
1. C.F. 91-2230 and C.F. 91-2247 shall be considered as
two parts of a complete package.
2. Both previously cited resolutions are an attempt to
hold down sewer rates in the City of Saint Paul.
3. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) has
continued to pass on costs to the City which have become
onerous.
4 . The City will address the problem of MWCC costs as
part of its 1992 Legislative Package.
5. The City Council rejects an increase in rates of 12%
and rather adopts a 6� sanitary sewer rate and will
require a 3� cut in its sewer funding with a
corresponding minimum 3 � cut by the MWCC.
6. The 1992 Budget contains one million dollars in
contingency for the interceptor for which the MWCC has
billed the City.

December 26, 1991
Council President Bill Wilson
and Honorable Members of the City Council
7th Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, MN 55102
Dear Council President Wilson and Members of the City Council:
I have vetoed the December 12, 1991 Council resolution, (Council File Number 91-
2247), setting the 1992 sewer service rates. I share the concern of the City Council
that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum.
However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds.
There are four reasons for my veto:
(1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep
the fund solvent we would be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993
rates.
(2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the�Metropolitan Waste
Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint
Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the
authority to charge an interest penalty.
(3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive
fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent.
As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will
leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low.
(4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs
ceased: However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our
commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of
this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and
environmental costs in the near future.
In response to the Council's recent action and as a compromise, I am
recommending a 9.5 percent increase in the 1992 service rates. This
rate recommendation will require over $530,000 of adclitional cuts in
the Sewer Service Fund.
...�...,
It will be very difficult to make these cuts because as a result of the 1992 budget
process, the Sewer Service Fund has already cut $272,000. The additional $530,000
being cut will cause the total elimination of some mandated programs including the
federally mandated Stormwater Discharge Permit activity and City participation in the
state mandated Watershed Management Organizations. It will also reduce the amount
spent on major sewer repair and the federally mandated Inflow and Infiltration
Reduction Program. Part I of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit application for our stormwater discharges is due on May 18, 1992.
Under the proposed cut, work on this program will stop and the City will fail to meet its
responsibilities under this new, unfunded federal regulation. In addition, the state
required funding for the several Watershed Management Organizations in the City will
be eliminated. The deferment of maintenance resulting in the cuts in major sewer
repair may meet an immediate financial need; however, the deterioration of our
infrastructure will have a much higher future cost. The proposed reduction in spending
in the Inflow and Infiltration Program will likely result in the City's failure to meet its
obligations under the current NPDES permit for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
Elimination Program. Noncompliance will expose the City of Saint Paul to financial
and other liability. All of the above cuts are one time and will have to be reviewed as
part of 1993 budget process.
In the proposed 1992 sewer budget, there are no increases in spending for wages or
in any other budget items.
As mayor I will initiate the following actions:
(1.) I have attached a reolution to implement my recommendation for a 9 1/2
percent increase in the 1992 sewer service rates.
(2.) I will arrange for the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
representatives to meet with my staff and members of the Council to
discuss all City concerns about MWCC charges. Until appropriate sewer
rates are set, I have requested the Saint Paul Water Utility to withhold their
billings for January.
(3.) With all the federal and state mandated programs and the corresponding
increases in regional and city sewer service charges, it appears imperative
that an oversight into these programs is necessary. I intend to explore the
possibility of submitting these mandated programs and annual regional
sewer service charges to the State Public Utilities Commission or another
appropriate agency for their review.
(4.) The Department of Public Works will conduct an extensive study of the
revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a part of the
study, Public Works will:
• contact municipal agencies within Minnesota and similar size cities in
other states. We will identify the trends in sewer service rates in other
communities that have resulted from mandated environmental
programs and will detemine if these cities are experiencing decreased
water use by both commercial and residential customers. -
• review all large commercial and industrial water and sewer use.
• review MWCC costs to the City and the allocation method.
• Identify the current and future ability of the Department of Public Works
to provide quality sewer service to our customers.
• also investigate any new state or federal requirements and their cost
impact.
• examine ways of consolidating Public Works sewer services with the
Saint Paul Water Utility for gains in overall cost effectiveness.
• develop a plan to stabilize the sewer rates over a 10-year period.
We will detail these issues in a mid-year report to the City Council.
If appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of submitting an
amended budget and as permitted by the Legislative code, adjust sewer rates
mid-year.
As elected City officials, we have all taken strong stands on environmental issues.
Cleaning up our environment plays a critical part in retaining a high quality of life for
Saint Paul citizens. We must maintain support for environment actions with a balanced
budget. Therefore, I feel that my veto is the only fiscally responsible action available to
me. I know you also share this view and I trust you will support it.
Sincerely, '

SUBJECT: SewQr Service Fund - 19�2 Sev��er �ervice Rates
The 199� Budget Proposal cails for a 7.1 percer�t ir�r,rease in the Sewer
Service Rates. �ased on �ecently dacumented information on sawer
v�lumes, it is now our recommendation that the sewe� service rates
_ si�ould be increased to 12 percent to increase reverue (tr�e spending budget
will not be increased). The following information will detail the need for
this increase. As you are aware, the two substantial revenue sources to
the sewer service program are the sewer service rates and the storm
sewer system charge. We have not recommended an incrPase in the storm
. sewer system charge this year, but we will review this chargs closely
for the 1993 budget. �
There are two critical issues concerning the Sewer Service Fund that we
feel must be addressed during this 1992 budget proce�s. We feel that it is
necessary to identify these issues so they carr be properly addressed by
the Council in setting the 1992 Sewer Rates. We have been monitoring the
sanitary sewer volumes and have identified a recent decrease in
. commercial and industrial use. This recent trend of decreasing volumes
• znd substantial past cash draw down in the fund have caused a funding
shortfall that requires our immediate attention.
� _, r -
'� '
� • �anitary Sewer Volumes �
There have been substantial r-eductions in commercial and
industrial votumes that have led to a reduction in revenues. This
reduction has many causes, with recession and cost reduction
measures on the part of large users as the primary reason for
� reduction in sanitary sewer volumes. ( Please note �the attached
graph on sewer volumes.) �
• Draw Down ot Operating Cash
. The reduction of volume and a desire to hold the line on increases
in the�sewer rate have caused us to rely on the fund balance for .
, operations. The ability of the fund to continue this practice and
still meet its obligations is nearly at an end. �
The Public Works Sewer Division will conduct an extensive study of
the revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a
part of this study, we �vil! contact municipa! agencies witnin
N+inresota ar.d s;milar size cities in other states. We will identiT;v
.�he trends in Sewer Service rates in other communities that hav�
r��l�ed from mardated environmental r�aram.� and decre��
w�ter use 5Y both cornmercial and residentia! customers We vri�!
iaentify the current and future ability of the Department of Fubfic
Warks to provide quality sewer service to our customers. We will
also investigate any new state or federal requirements. We will
detail these issues in a March 1 si report to tt�e City Council. I�
appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of
submitting an amended budget.

Dear Council President Wilson an e___ ___________._,___........:
I have vetoed the December 12, 1991 Council resolution, (Council File Number 91-
2247), setting the 1992 sewer service rates. I share the concern of the City Council
that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum.
However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds.
There are four reasons for my veto:
(1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep
the fund solvent we v�ould be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993
rates.
� (2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the Metropolitan Waste
j Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint
Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the
authority to charge an interest penalty.
(3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive
fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent.
As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will
� leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low.
; • (4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs
� . ceased. However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our
commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of
this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and
environmental costs in the near future.
In response to the Counci!'s recent act�on and as a compromise, I am
recommending a 9.5 percent increase in the 1992 service rates. This
rafe recommendat�on will require over $530,000 of add�tional cuts in
the Sewer Service Fund.
